    I’ll give it a shot. :rofl: “This further cemented your principles of not using markets for wealth, and only focusing on stuff you can control.”

    The market looks out about a year in time. They are trying to gain some certainty about inflation and interest rates. Interest rates matter because they affect valuations. It’s harder to value a stock when interest rates start moving. There’s a lot more going on here but that’s one key...

    Father-figure abandonment and entrepreneurship...

    How many of you had daddy issues? I had big time daddy issues. Fights, arguments and just an overall dislike for my father. I remember Jordan Peterson saying anti-social behavior comes from not having a father. But I also believe that it can happen in other ways. Even to this day it...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    Funny how the people around you will attack your eating habits or philosophy. When I started fasting the people around me we’re shocked. They were like “omg you gotta eat something that’s bad not to eat”. And these are people who are overweight. The biggest comment I got was “you lost weight...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    Fasting was key to improving my energy levels and controlling my weight(went from 210 to 155). It changed my life. It got me off my blood pressure meds and improved my self-confidence. We live in a society that is addicted to food. As well as po*nagraphy. 1. Fast and eat a healthy diet. 2...

    Can't stop wasting time instead of just DOING

    Many would disagree with me, but there’s no reason why anybody should be playing video games if they are stuck. The only thing you can do is get your ducks in a row and stop everything you are doing now. You have to get out there and immerse yourself in a market and opportunities and...

    You can tell today was wierd. QQQ was up only 4 points midday. We should have been up more with VOL this high. Usually the last 2 hours of trading can give us some clues. My guess is nobody is touching these indexes until after the midterm election. Even then, who knows, but this is classic...

    My guess is there is a very high chance of a black swan event in the next 10-20 years. And it will probably be in the credit markets. We are in a very different economic, political and investing regime. The rules, laws and regulations of the system are just sentences on a piece of paper and a...

    $VIX still in a wierd spot above both its 20 DMA and 200 DMA with the 20DMA pointing upwards. /VIX futures term structure not yet signaling a Mean Reversion. :oops: There’s been a lot of selling in the AM immediately after market open.

    We should see a big move here to the downside! Although they will probably try to rally them to make it look like SP will double bottom. Just looking at stuff like correlations and recent price-action together with my gut. Could be wrong of course!

    My 600lb Life: Addiction, Enabling, More (RANT)

    NOTABLE! 
    Ever since i've gone vegan and started fasting, my mind has just been in awe of how damaging food is and how "asleep" mankind is when it comes to food. Every social gathering it's like "c'mon bro, come have some carne asada tacos! c'mon man there's tons of pizza, soda and beer!" The social...

    Is Success down to hard work or luck?

    MINDSET 
    Only time will tell why we are born with particular parents, body, set of traumatic experiences, personality etc. Maybe when we die we will know why. Our consciousness is localized, the universe has a global kind of consciousness. Just pray for access and union to the utility driven...

    Is Success down to hard work or luck?

    MINDSET 
    The right answer is neither. The question, semantics and context is wrong all together. Success depends on YOU and how much you are willing to see the truth in you and outside in the world. Of course life is not fair, there are people who get away with murder or who have millions and stole...

    Then what happens if inflation stays elevated; which it will. Together with a recession. The Fed won’t have a lot of options to maneuver that situation. What are they gonna do? Lower rates? They keep saying “soft landing”. These are the same people that said the “target” rate of inflation was 2%.

    10-year yield has a lot of room to go up. My guess is Nasdaq can easily drop another 14% assuming a 7% drawdown for every 100 basis point rise. Today's down day is really not surprising considering thursday's weak response to the Fed meeting. VIX futures term structure not looking good, we're...

    One of the reasons I haven’t bought long VOL contracts like VIX calls or UVXY calls in this market is because volatility has been acting wierd. Looks like a lot of short premium sellers coming in and selling puts and not a whole lot of panic to buy downside protection. You can tell a lot of pros...

    When the market rallied with a 50% retracement then made a U-turn I knew this bear market was here to stay for a while. I actually think we will revisit pre-pandemic levels around 3200. In the meantime nothing but crickets from every WSB thread, FIRE movement proponent and Suze Orman. :rofl...

    Fastlane Fasting Friends

    HEALTH 
    I've been fasting for about a year now. Went from 210 pounds to 150 pounds. I look and feel great! I'm off my blood pressure meds. I only drink water, black coffee, eat some pink Himalayan salt and fast for 24 hours.

    Like physical head trauma? Like retired NFL guys? Or emotional? I used to smoke a lot of marijuana and it really never did that for me. It would just make me hungry and more easy going. My productivity went through the roof when I cut out all the weed and alcohol completely. Mushrooms seemed...
